The Amani Room will experience a re-birth In the creative heart of Oakland,
Our new groove is a soulful, music-infused coffee house and wine bar offering pastries and charcuterie by day, and an elegant wine bar and Fancy BBQ by night. On deck most evenings: live music, poetry, and vinyl DJs..
Musicians are welcomed to book recording sessions in our world class studio, featuring the highest quality analogue and digital equipment, a selection of unique global instruments, and a hand-picked staff of talented music producers. We will also facilitate connections with industry experts that will help take your music project to the next level.
We love a slower pace and time to connect, so we offer graciously comfortable seating and numerous couches, rustic wooden tables to collaborate around, low or natural lighting and of course, a vinyl soundscape of jazz, soul, classical, instrumental from our collection. Our guests are also welcome to bring their collections to spin while enjoying a cappuccino or a glass of pinot noir.
We envision a place where artists and those inspired by art can commune and offer mutual support, drawing in and nurturing a community of musicians, creatives and lovers of innovative music and art.
